Recipe: The Best Snack Dip Appetizer EVER

by

You know I don’t play when it comes to food. I only share my most favorite recipes, so you can rest assured if I post it, it is delicious and some time in the past I may or may not have eaten my weight in it.

Sister Wife (aka Mommy Sissy, aka my BFF aka Lizzie) had this fabulous snack at her house last week and I didn’t even want to eat dinner. It was that good.

You need a block of cream cheese, a jar of Mezzetta’s Express Deli-Style Zesty Bell Pepper Relish, and about 50 boxes of Triscuit Thins.

You put the block of cream cheese on a plate, dump the relish on top (a few spoonfuls, one jar should last you a while) and try to pace yourself.

I have NEVER been a fan of the traditional cream cheese and pepper jelly that is so popular in the South. But this…This. Is. To. Die. For.

I may (or may not) have eaten this for dinner several times in the past week.

Aubrey Said: Bad Words

by

Do you remember when you were a kid and you first learned how to cuss? I do. I was smitten. I looked for any opportunity to say my new found words without getting smacked.

Aubrey has picked up a few choice words here and there and as far as I know she has always asked me what they mean before using them.

She got into the car today and much like the Recess Panic Incident of 2010, she began talking about 100mph.

A: MOMMA! There are so many bad words that I can’t say at school.
Me: There are? You didn’t say them did you?
A: No…but like you should never say, STUPID or IDIOT or DEVIL or HELL at school. Should you Momma?
Me: Ah…no.
A: Because they are bad. Even if you whisper them in ears…
Me: Did you SAY that to somebody?
A: Ah…no. But STUPID, IDIOT, DEVIL and HELL they are really, really bad.

Um, yeah. Good talk.

What do your kids say when they get in the car after school that totally bewilders you?

Keepin’ It Real

by

Sometimes it’s hard to sit down and be funny, to try not to offend anyone with my sense of humor (some people are easily offended) and to stay upbeat.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the number of “Mommy Bloggers” out there in cyberspace and I wonder if it’s worth it. I don’t want endorsements, product reviews or so many ads on my home page that you get confused as to where to look.

I want to write. I want to make people laugh. I want to let other moms realize we are all in this together and this thing called motherhood really is fun, when you don’t take it so seriously.

I don’t want to go to a conference about how to market myself, or have to trick people into reading what I write here.

I want to write. I want your feedback and I want to discuss. I want to be a place where moms can come to share and laugh and to know they won’t be judged.

Those are my deep thoughts for the day. What are yours?
